Aegis Antimicrobial treated air filters reduces biological loads in Indoor Environment

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 08, 2008 – Air filters are part of the front-line for dealing with microbial problems in our modern buildings. With the proper choice of an antimicrobial agent applied to air filtration media, you can prohibit the growth of microbes on filter surfaces, reduce the number of microbial cells in the air stream, and reduce the bio loading in the indoor environment

Air filters in commercial buildings acts as a barrier in keeping out viable and no viable particulate from entering into the AHU supply air stream, thus maintaining the indoor environmental quality.

Air filters can be a barrier to microorganisms and at the same time can be an amplification site for microbial growth. Test data from laboratory and field evaluations shows clearly the utility and appropriateness of the AEGIS ANTIMICROBIAL SYSTEM as part of air filtration systems.

How it works?

The AEGIS ANTIMICROBIAL SYSTEM chemically bonds itself to an air filter and virtually destroys all microorganisms which it comes into contact with. This reduces airborne microorganisms which it comes into contact with. This reduces airborne microorganisms by up to 86.5% in one pass, as certified by AFTL Crestwood, Kentucky test laboratory.

The AEGIS ANTIMICROBIAL SYSTEM is durable. AEGIS Microbe Shield technology is not merely affixed to the treated surface; it is chemically bonded to the treated surface making it a permanent part of the surface and allowing it to remain functional even after long-term use that may include hundreds of cleanings or washing of the washable pre filters.

Friendly to the Environment & You

The AEGIS Microbe Shield is environmentally friendly. No heavy metals means no worries. The AEGIS Microbe Shield addresses the two main ecological concerns associated with leaching antimicrobials: bleeding harmful toxins into the environment and the generation of adaptive organisms (super bugs).

The mode of action of the AEGIS Microbe Shield is physical and its molecular makeup alleviates these concerns.

The AEGIS technology is the only microbe shield in the world which does not leach into the environment, thus does not encourage any microbial adaptation or mutation. AEGIS treatment reduces the need of using toxic cleaning chemicals as pollutants are kept in control in the environment

The AEGIS ANTIMICROBIAL SYSTEM inhibits growth of microorganisms on the surface of the filter, thereby reducing microbial load from re circulated air.  The AEGIS ANTIMICROBIAL SYSTEM is a powerful tool in dealing with key microbiological elements in the battle for improved indoor air quality.
